They opted to stay in on their first night back in the same city. She had been busy with the League while his job kept him out of the country for weeks at a time. Perhaps that was the reason Diana was feeling uncharacteristically greedy, choosing not to share Steve that evening at the Annual State Dinner they had considered attending. For his part, Steve agreed readily, insisting he would cook since his arrival would come first.

Once the table was beautifully set, simple but elegant, with candles and flowers, Steve showered and dressed. He busied himself around the cozy apartment unwilling to sit on the couch and count down the minutes until she arrived.

The dinner he spent hours preparing for her, the souffle nearly ready, the glass of wine he poured minutes before she walked in through the door, were all quickly forgotten when she entered.

"Angel," he sounded breathless, gazing upon her once again. She was breathtaking always, but there was something about her in her Wonder Woman attire. On television and in pictures, she was stunning no doubt, but those mediums failed to capture her true essence, that which could only be understood in her presence. Yes, Steve was lucky, but more importantly, he was aware of just how lucky he was. He smiled then, realizing she must have been as eager to be near him as he was to be near her if she had not bothered to change.

Diana returned his smile, her blue eyes bright as she admired him as well. All the while, the distance between them diminished until it vanished all together in a warm embrace. The embrace led to a gentle, welcoming kiss. The kiss deepened, growing heavy with need. Their need became all-consuming.

Stumbling to their room like a pair of lust-filled teenagers, Diana laughed and he laughed with her. When they reached their room, wearing little to nothing, feeling giddy and full of longing, the spell was broken when the smoke detector beeped violently. In an instant, Diana was ready to protect Steve and their home.

Noticing her abrupt change, Steve took her fist in his hand to smooth it out. "It's only dessert," he apologized with a smile as he ran to the kitchen.

Grabbing her robe, Diana followed. Smoke filled the room and she opened as many windows as she could find.

When the kitchen air was clear again, Diana wrapped her arms around Steve, running the fingers of her right hand through his blond hair.

"Since I have distracted you," she grinned at him, "I'll simply have to come up with something else for dessert."

Steve was about to argue - he did not want her blaming herself for something that was equally their fault - but when she took a step back and her robe fell to the kitchen floor, all he could think of was how much better this dessert would be.

How delightful, hon! I love the domestic atmosphere (Keep hold of him, Diana! He can cook!), their desire for each other, the interruption, and Diana as dessert! ;)

I also loved Steve's thoughts on Diana in costume and her presence transcending TV and photographs. She was quite eager to get home! ;)

What a fun ficlet! :)

Thank you! =D They lend themselves nicely to it! And I think Steve might be one of the few people in the DCU who can cook, so Diana's not letting him go anywhere! ;)

I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for hosting the challenge, Brady! XD

Yeah, most people in the DCU seem to order out for pizza. Though Diana wouldn't object to that. ;)

Mmmm, pizza! XD

Next time, to avoid smoke alarm interruptions, Steve might just do that! ;)

Aww this was sweet. It's so nice to see Steve and Diana have a nice (some what) quiet night together.

Lovely my dear.

I so love the image of Diana snapping to battle-readiness at the sound of the smoke alarm, it's funny and incredibly hot at the same time. She's so awesome here!

Eep, sorry, thought I had replied...but thank you! I'm so glad you liked Diana here! Even when she's trying to relax, her body is always on alert! ;)
